Recording location: Czech Republic, Strilky, Summer seminar

Spiritual health means not becoming fanatical. Do not fight against other spiritual groups or religions. Do not create fantasies; do not misuse your spiritual achievement by claiming you are a god, that you know everything, or that you are now a realized being. Always believe in God, and believe in social work. Help everyone, think positively, and follow the teachings of every incarnation. Respect every holy book; let each person believe as they do, because love for God is very individual and we cannot influence that. If someone understands how you think about God and you explain, and if they accept it, that is okay. Therefore, spirituality is the main part of human life. Because a human understands what is God and what is not God. Now a human understands what is a problem and what is not a problem. Animals also understand, but they have no possibility to avoid it. All these problems in the world—where there is fighting and war—are actually due to different beliefs. Because everyone wants the whole world to believe only in their religion. And this is a problem. So we would like to create tolerance, and we should support them, not take it away from them. Tolerance is very important, and this is missing in many religions. So, spiritual health means practicing: meditating, chanting mantras, praying, and practicing in life ahiṃsā (non-violence), tolerance, respect, understanding, and forgiveness. These are points in our life which we can achieve. You should think a thousand times over before you tell someone something. Take care that you do not hurt someone; that is very important. And that is what we call spiritual health. This spiritual health will lead us to spiritual development, and spiritual development is the achievement of self-realization. Therefore, it is very important that we achieve these things. And for that, there is yoga and daily life, which we have designed. Recording location: Czech Republic, Strilky, Summer seminar
